MERRIMAc AND MONITOR.
IRON "Lossing's Civil War;

The captain was the pilot of the Merrimac
that day off Hampton roads, March 0, 1862
The Merrimac was fine new steam frigate.
When the United States officer, Commodore
McCauley. set fire to his own governments
navy yard at Norfolk and burned the ships,
the Merrimac was among those fired and left
TO consume. This was April 81, 1861.
But the Merrimac was not entirely de-
stroyed. She was burned to the copper line
Then she sank To raise her again, to fit her
out as q war vessel, was not n task of very
great difficulty for the Confederate govern
ment. Her exterior pattern was changed
somewhat. In armor plating her, and other
wise fitting her for naval warfare, the Con-
federates affixed TO her bows long, powerful
iron beak In brief, when the refltting was
done, and the Merrimac was turned cut
of the Norfolk or Portsmouth navy
yard she became the steam ram Viz.
ginia, tho terror of every United States
ship afloat. Steaming up, head on, she was
able to send her long, sWordfish bcal crashing
through the sides OF the strongest wooden
ship. Thus, attacking vessels one at c time,

whole United States navy and commercial
marine What is more, she had been fitted
up in the United States governments own
navy yard, Of good iron and steel belonging
to the nation.
The new pattern given to her was the idea
of Lieut.. John NJ. Brooks, himself United
States naval officer who had taken the Confed-
crate side, The battering ram or false bow ex-
tended out ahead of her 33 feet She had two
powerful engines below the water line Her
roof and sides were covered with oak over two
feet thick, and upon this was plated iron 8
inches through. The ram in front was also
composed of oals and iron The vessel was
armed with several great guns for thore days,
carrying shot of frcm 80 to 100 pounds, and
120pound she'll.
Such was the ram Virginia. She is better
known, however, the world over, by her for
mer name, the Merrimac, and that is the
name which viii be used in this story
Last but not least, she was directed 10y ex-
United States officers, iuen WHO had been

itor--Battle of The Iron Clads, March
0, 1862.
On the shores at the mouth of the blue
Chesapeake this time of year the air is mild
as June. Salt breeze and pine forest mingle
and give it bracing fragrance. Fig trees and
fringy cape myrtles live outdoors the year
around. 1t is one of the most delightful
spots of the earth Visitors to Old Point
Comfort and Fortress Monroe linger on day
after day. Travellers stopping at the great
hotel east of the fortress sit hour by hour in
the verandas. Anon they change and take
sail over the bright waters with the captain
Everybody calls him the captain. He is a
hale, gray bearded man with keen eye and q
strong frame. He has been about the Chesa-
peake and Norfolk bay more years than a
good many of our readers have lived. Year
after year. too, while the loiterers sit and
gaze, now at the blue sky, now at the softly
rolling breakers which are even as blue, they
ask the captain to tell them the story of the
Merrimac and the Monitor fight.

MUSICAL INSTITUTE.

Ths Lewis Musical Institute is meeting
with patronage and success far in advance
of what even the most ardent advocater an
ticipated.
The faculty is being continually reinforced
from the best universities and conseryator-
les in the country.
Miss Louise o. Gray, of Oberlin Conserva-
tory, has organized her classes in voice cul
ture, harmony and piano during the past
week, charming her pupils by her quiet, yet
severely thorough manner Of irstructing
them in the art divine.
Mrs. Julis q. Dunn arrived last evening
from the east where she has been engaged in
teaching and studying music under the hes,
instructors for several years Mrs. Dunn
takes charge of the vocal department of the
institute, theory, acoustics, and history OF
music, and will arrange her classes st once.
As each of these ladies is gifted with voices
of rare compass and richness, the music low
ing people Of Wichita may safely anticipate
musical feast in the near future when ar
rangements for the institute concert, now
under consideration, shall have been per
fected.

A CABLE LINE.

President j. Oak Davidson, despairing OF
satisfactory work Of the electric motors on
the Market street and Riverside line, Il con
templating a cable line. The stationary
engine, dynamos and machinery generating
the electric power has been in place on ths
west side for some weeks the wires have
been stretched, but still the beautiful littls
motors performances lack much ~ being
| satisfactory, we judge. IL skips out with
its complement Of passenger coaches In
lively manner for q little ways, but when an
attempt is made 20 have it cover the same
| track back there is failure. The inventor
or proprietor has. spent no little money IN
attempting to make good hisguarranty. For
few days steam motor belonging to the
Valley Center line has been working UP and
down the road. Riverside, and in fact Mar
ket street and the people along the entire
line would be pleased II cable line should
be put in. No street transportation yei
invented or tried gives such satisfaction a.
the cable lines. Steam motors horse power,
elevated railways and electric lines, in pop
ularity do not hold candle 20 the cable ser
vice, and we hope that Mr. Davidson's oe
sires may be realized

THEJEWISH NEW YEAR.

| The year 5647 from the creation of the
| world, closes with sunset of September 18th
| and the year seas is ushered in. Rosh-Hash
anah. the Jewish New Year, is not day OF
hilarity and amusement, but day of reflec
| ton and deep thought. This holy day i;
prescribed in the law of Moses, to be cele
brated the first day Of the seventh month, Oh
| the first day OF Tishri, the new moon after
J the autumnai equinox. According to the
ancient Rabbis this was day Of judg
ment in Heaven, all Lying beings are judged
| by the Omniscient and Ali Just. Judgment i:
pronounced over them according to thell
past record, to be executed upon them dur
ing the coming year. According to the al
legorical language OF the ancient
| Rabbis, the verdicts and
| judgements are recorded in the different
books. Therefore the immemorial custom
| il to salute each other on this particular day
with, ''May you be inscribed for good and
happy year.
Modern Judaism celebrates the New Year
| also as day of judgment. The sounding OF
the shophar tcornet)on this day shall recall to
| US the Creator Of the World, who formed
| every object on which our eye can rest and
all cher things in heaven and earth. The
sound of the cornet shall also remind US Of
| God as merciful Judge and Father Of man
kind. On this day we shall place ourselves
with our conscience and consciousness before
the Judgment seat of God to review and re
wise our doings and omissions during ths
past year. We shall also remember
on this day the happiness, Joy ant
gladness which the past year brought to oul
country, our homes and our hearts. W.
shall also remember the trials ami losses, tbs
pains and visitations, the sorrows and IN
hictions of the past, 1t has been the custom
to begin the year with deeds Of charity anc
piety, with aims giving and congregating t.
worship God and to ask his grace. This an
rual revival, SO well established among tht
Hebrews, does vast amount OF good Il
strengthens the spiritual nature and rouse
noble resolves in their hearts. This is day
of special grace and especially time OF con
ISOLATION for the poor and needy. On Thu
day we are constrained TO remember tbs
orphan and widow and ali the noble insiitu
tons which alleviate the sufferings Of poor
and sick humanity. This is the day or
which we ought TO appease our enemies anc
to forget and forgive. Ten days, called tbs
DAYS of Penitence, following the New Year
day, are given to Us to mend our ways II
which we shall ask the forgiveness OF oul
feIIowmen If we have vronged them during
the past year, only then can we oe forgiven
on the De-, Of Atonement by the Eterna
Judge and Father. ".
